LOCAL FOOD BENEFITS COMMUNITIES & THE ENVIRONMENT

Local Harvest is a new national initiative aiming to help people find local sources of food and grow their own.

A directory of sustainable food in Australia

A national directory for finding food co-ops, swap meets, community gardens, farmers markets, box systems, organic retailers and more by simply entering your postcode.

DIY alternatives for food production and meeting essential needs, including resources for growing and making your own.

Take up the Local Harvest Challenge, where for one week you attempt to reduce the 'degrees of separation' from your food. Based on the Household Action Challenge run in previous years.

There is a fantastic similar resource existing for the USA found at www.localharvest.org on which this project has been based.

My friend, Belinda, came to visit yesterday bringing with her a gift of Mountain Bread (so appropriate from someone living in the Dandenong Ranges) and home grown eggs. Belinda could be called an urban homesteader. To find out what this means in the daily life of a creative person, please go to Belinda's Place. Let me tell you this girl is committed, creative, intelligent and methodical. There is a lot to learn from her.
